When it comes to finishing a puzzle, there is always this one missing piece that you can't seem to find. Well in the case of Paolo and Cassie, two fanatics of crime solving had the same thought but these two started at the wrong foot. From a not-so-friendly friendship between co-workers into a love and hate relationship, fate has something in its sleeves. Will they be each other's missing piece?

Chapter 1 Prologue

Cassandra Elisse Rivera is the Los Angeles' best detective. Growing up, Rivera always wanted to follow her late father's footsteps. Little Rivera always has an eye when it comes to solving whether it's a math question or mystery solving, she's up for it. You can say, she is pretty smart. She's practically Belle; beauty and brains but without the beast.

After her dad passed away, she swore to herself to continue what her dad had done to this city. To be a detective. Her mom may not like the idea of her following her father's footsteps, but she agreed

On the other hand, Paolo Lorence Catacutan is just the same as Miss Rivera, an interest when it comes to mystery solving.

Catacutan moved to Los Angeles from Indiana to pursue his passion. This Filipino-American man is quite dashing as I do say so myself.

When he was transferred to Rivera's place of work, they don't seem to be able to cross each other's paths. Whether Cassandra is on a case somewhere, Catacutan is working on a different case and vice versa.

But fate had an idea for these two. What is that idea possibly be?

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
